Collier also double-doubled for the third time in four games with a 15-point, 12-rebound performance.

Jaelyn Brown (illness) — Out
Satou Sabally (shoulder) — Injured
Natasha Howard (foot) — Injured
Commenting on Brown's recovery from nasal surgery, coach Trammell told media before Saturday's game that her procedure was successful, but she had since fallen ill. She remained out for the first leg of the back-to-back against Phoenix, and has an uncertain status for Sunday's second leg against the Sparks.
Confirmed Lineup: Lexie Brown, Layshia Clarendon, Kia Nurse, Dearica Hamby, Cameron Brink
Azura Stevens (arm) — Injured
In her second year as a Spark, Hamby is the league's rebounding leader in the season's early goings with 13.3 per contest. While early, the all-time single-season record is 11.9 rebounds per game, set by Sylvia Fowles in 2018.
Additionally, while Brink has gotten off to a tough start offensively, she is the league's runaway leader in blocks per game at 3.3. Only Brittney Griner and Margo Dydek have ever averaged more in a single season in the history of the WNBA.
